Its all about location. At the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, you will find this beautiful, north facing, family home.

Set on a gentle rise, there’s plenty of room to grow and space to play, indoors and out in this family-friendly property.

Set back from the road on 2.8 acres approx. (1.152Ha) of serenity, the sandstone block home offers an escape from the hassles of work and the city.

From the full-length front verandah, a welcoming entry hall leads to five robed bedrooms (main with ensuite and walk in robe), family bathroom, dining and kitchen areas with barn doors connecting a formal lounge, with cosy fireplace, creating expansive open-plan living.

The kitchen boasts electric cooking appliances, dishwasher and ample cabinetry. There’s much more to this residence, with storage cupboards tucked into every available space, a whopping 6.6Kw solar power system, new carpet and paintwork, and an updated family bathroom.

And that’s just under the roofline. Behind the freestanding double, high-span carport is a walk-in store room and a versatile 7m x 8m external room with split system air conditioning. It’s the ideal teen retreat, rumpus room, home business/office space, man cave – or whatever suits your family’s needs.

Notable external features include a paved sun-drenched alfresco area off the kitchen/dining, town water supply, stacked-stone retaining walls to the garden beds, a reticulated watering system, a half-court basketball court and dog-proof fencing to contain the furry ones.

Assorted shedding includes a 6m x 9m Colorbond shed/workshop with power, concrete base and roller door, a wood shed, garden tool shed, two rainwater tanks, fruit trees and a fancy chicken coop/run doing double duty as a dog house.

The rear of the block is uncleared virgin bushland, backing onto Crown land, providing a place for the kids to explore or camp out on school holidays, while keen birders will delight in the abundant resident birdlife.

It offers the best of both worlds with all the peace and tranquillity you seek yet within easy reach of the Bendigo CBD, with the Farmers Arms Hotel, the Junortoun Post office and Catherine Macauley Coolock Campus only minutes away.

Only a handful of homes share this tightly-held location where the unique cluster subdivision design allows each property to own a share of a communal tree-fringed lake reserve to freely enjoy.

Can you think of a better lifestyle for your family?
